Active Minds (UCLA Chapter) is a national organization which aims to educate students on UCLA’s campus and the surrounding Los Angeles community of the importance of advocating for mental health, awareness of the stigma associated with mental illness, and taking action against suicide.

They provide information on resources for those that suffer from mental health issues and for those who support others who suffer. They hold workshops, events, education opportunities and fundraisers on the UCLA campus as well as programs at local schools and mental health community centers. They aim to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health on our campus, in our community, and across the nation. By changing the conversation about mental health they create a better system for supporting those who need the help, and allow for everyone to understand that we all have mental health, and should take care of it accordingly.
